Fun with Obamicons

I’m probably a bit late on this, but it’s still fun. Out of curiosity, I searched to see if there was a way to turn your picture into the style of the Shepard Fairey portrait of Barack Obama. You know, this:

Well, I found a great site: Obamicon.me. You can put in any picture and play around with the color distribution of the four colors, eventually making a perfect portrait.

I made some nice ones. This was my favorite:

I made a few other portraits…

And then I had fun with a few of my favorite pictures:

Celebrating the Fourth of July…

This is what gives me hope.

And one of the greatest photos of 2008: getting surprised by Maxi in Buenos Aires. The title says it all.

But best of all are the photos from my Vegas trips:

The morning after.

George Clooney cops a feel.

Believe it or not, we hadn’t even left the hotel yet when this was taken.

Best fast food ever.

What we do best.

Best picture of all: 6:30 AM, just having left Drai’s, Lisa lies down in the alley next to the IP, begging to go in. One of the greatest nights of our lives.
